That's a good day in anyones book.

The "lined I" and marine buttons are excellent. I think the two piece civilian with some gilt is also a neat one.

I guess the dirty pennies are just the gravy icing.

I detected on the middle of a random farm in Virginia once as a kid. My uncle was living on a small farm near Marshall. I walked right through a Confederate camp because I was 10 and didn't find any Minie balls. I did find lots of camp lead, a religious medallion from the 1850's, and a couple of knapsack hooks. That was in walking a straight line walking to another field which had nothing and I thought looked better.

My point is that you had some excellent Virginia hunting today.

Everytime I read something you write I laugh, even if I'm listening to a sad song.. You should go back to that field.

That's a good day in anyones book.

Thanks yank, I about crapped when I got home and cleaned that "I"

Thanks man, that's actually my 3rd (got a VA button and Script I last fall)

Wasn't that VA post war?

All these posts are building up the hunger in me and I'm about to release the detecting animal.
